They are all removed now. It is really quite easy to remove them. The ones that had paper loss were not from removing them but from the removing them and regluing them many many many years ago to sort them by team.
Unfortunately, a large number did have paper loss. My guess is the original owner decided to rip everything out and sort it by team, and then when he acquired new cards he would just glue them in on the team specific page, which I would guess are the ones that have no paper loss.
There are a load of other tobacco cards as well. Boxing, Billiards Players, Track and Field stuff, even a card with Buffalo Bill on it and one of Annie Oakley. Pretty cool stuff!
